Description of the Product

The red crista, made of real horsehair, was easily seen on the battlefield. This way, even if there was a lot of chaos and noise during battle, it was always clear to all legionaries who is in charge. Clear command structure and discipline were important parts why Roman armies were so effective and were able to conquer and hold a vast empire.

The crista was reserved for Roman soldiers vested with special command within a cohort such as Centurions and Optiones, seconds-in-command below the centurions. In modern terms these positions would perhaps be called officers and NCOs (non-commissioned officers) or XOs (executive officers). The Pluma/Crista comes with a brass crest holder for proper fitting to your helmet.

Link to the -Imperial Gallic Roman Helmet- this Crista fits perfectly.

The plume worn straight from back to front was customary for the Roman Optio soldiers.
The plume worn across the helmet left to right was customary for the Roman Centurio soldier.

Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitÀ muistikirjan alkuperÀstÀ ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta kÀsityöstÀ. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. TÀydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!

Siis aivan huikea!! Tilasin pari tuotetta aamupĂ€ivĂ€llĂ€, ja 24h myöhemmin ne olivat jo noudettavissa postin automaatista! Kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu, ei ole mitÀÀn moitittavaa. Vaatteet olivat juuri sitĂ€ mitĂ€ tilasin, ja koot pitĂ€vĂ€t kyllĂ€ todella hyvin paikkansa! 😍 Aion ehdottomasti tilata vielĂ€ uudestaan, ja ehdottomasti suosittelen kaikille!
